Ask HN: Alternative to Stripe?

3 points by lignux 6 years ago | 3 comments

I live in a country that Stripe, PayPal or any of the other payment processors support, so i am wondering what alternatives i have for me as an individual or for my business?

It is really frustrating because for me to have an online business i either have to be a partner with someone abroad and have them register a firm there that can take all the payments or i have to limit myself to B2B kinda service where i can send invoices to the clients manually.

Does anyone in a similar situation have any suggestions?

You could open an Estonian company you fully own and manage using the e-Residency programme https://e-resident.gov.ee/. Caveat: not all payment service providers that usually accept Estonian clients will also work with a company managed from abroad (iirc Stripe requires you to live in another country they support) but at least one most likely will.

Perhaps Adyen (https://www.adyen.com/) would work for you?

I looked into Ayden and i can't register an account with the country i live in.
